Abstract
An autonomous solenoid controller which in its broad aspect includes a microprocessor, a communication bus, and a solenoid driver. The microprocessor includes logic in order to control drivers for at least one solenoid. The communications bus is operably connected to the microprocessor so that the communications bus and the microprocessor communicate with one another. The communication bus communicates with an outside transmission control unit. The solenoid driver is electrically connected between the microprocessor and the solenoid, such that the microprocessor commands the solenoid driver to alter the position of the solenoid.
